The comments on the cnet freeocr page indicate such infestation. You could try Calibre, downloading only from http://calibre-ebook.com/ which will convert a PDF into text.

As a general rule I suggest only to download from an application's own site. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
